Minutes from the October 24 2002 Teleconference Austin-145 Page 1 of 1

The purpose of the call was to review the aardvark reports and
editors proposed resolutions for TC1 draft 5, which had been
circulated prior to the meeting.
Since three ORs were not in attendance it was decided to put
off any discussion of new inbound aardvark against the finaltext.
Andrew reported that he had converted comments from the IEEE ballot
and the IEEE and The Open Group editors into aardvark, resulting in
48 aardvarks. Apart from one which procedurally had to be rejected
since it was against a html web page that is not part of the standard
they would all result in improvements to the text without substantive
change to the comment. For the one comment rejected Andrew confirmed
that he had conversed with the submitter and obtained agreement that
this was acceptable (note that we have made the fix suggested to the
html web page).
Don noted that some comments say fix, and that we are assuming
that the editors have done the right thing. Andrew confirmed that this
was the case.
The IEEE ballot obtained 89% return and 100% affirmative (several sets of
comments were received from balloters and coordinators).
TC1 is thus effectively complete with the editorial changes applied
as a result of the review. Due to the impending deadline at IEEE for
submission to the standards board we are starting a 10 day recirculation
on October 25. This is the final text draft to be submitted for formal
approval, and is now available on the Austin Group website.
Ulrich asked about plans for an updated paper publication. Andrew responded
that in an ideal world this would be in 1Q2003, however we want to
create a paper document this time with ISO approval too, and so we
need to get TC1 through the ISO process.
It was agreed that plans for future corrigendum, if any, will need to
be discussed at some point.
On a unrelated topic, an issue was raised about the spelling of the
word Cancelation --- this looks like we need to fix that up to
be Cancellation (we managed to check the US spelling from the American
Heritage Dictionary). It is suggested that we can handle this editorially at
the next instance of the paper publication or in erratum.
The Next call is scheduled for two weeks time
on November 7 - Thursday 4pm . The topic will be back to
looking at inbound aardvark
